westerners butcher people every day, they love the sight of charred babies remains
thats TODAY! not thousands of years ago
what can i do as a westerner, annoy the crap out of the government ofc
mwahahahahaha, nwo scum.

So, it is an "ethnicity" and not just a religious adjective. Okay. Weird.

Why not just identify as "Middle-easterner" or "Mediterranean"? Beautiful race of people, btw...
so, then it brings up why Caucasians are "allowed" to claim this ethnic distinction, when they are clearly not of the same ethnicity. Like if I
decided to move to Tibet, become a Buddhist monk, would I then be called a Tibetan? I don't think so.

I meant that muslims (even the irreligious ones) are generally referred to be an ethnicity when they make the news.

I think that's the answer right there mate. Media is always the perfect propaganda mouthpiece, it has an agenda. Personally I don't adhere to any
religion, I'm rough around the edges, but have been taught basically a buddhist philosophy over the past 15 years or so. I spent a little time in
India a number of years back, basically surrounded by Muslims (mainly from Kashmir) and didn't have any problems whatsoever. Nobody tried to convert
or kill me, in fact, just the opposite. I found them to be very hospitable and friendly people and spent many days just hangin' out and chatting.

In saying that, there has been some pretty serious incidents over here involving a few groups of mainly Lebanese Muslims in recent times, and It's
easy to start feeling anger (amongst other things!) towards these people for the crimes they've committed, but your correct in what you
say........can't paint everyone with a broad brush. Again, thank the media and small minds for this problem.

Get rid of religion and peace is a guarantee. Without religions protection, the culture would be looked at objectively where it would be exceeding
difficult to justify popular actions, such as oppressing women or religious factions in government ex. Bible-thumping Republicans.

This applies to every country, not just the middle east.

"...secular ideologies were responsible for the murder of 100 million innocent people during the last
century." Source

Atheists kill people in such vastly greater numbers than any religion EVER

"And the much greater persecution of priests and believers
in 20th Century Atheist tyrannies clearly demonstrates
the murderous anti-theism of Atheists."

"Then you explain why they kill people in such vastly greater numbers
than any religion EVER HAS in all of history!?"

Nobody has died because of religion. When people "kill in the name of religion," they're actually going against what religion teaches.

A man could claim to be killing in the name of Mickey Mouse -- but that is a bad reflection on the man, not on Mickey Mouse.

Atheist Communist regimes, meanwhile, have killed over 100 million of their own people (and that's a conservative number) in just the last 100
years.

They didn't do it in the name of atheism, precisely, but their killing is not going against what atheism teaches. Because atheism, in essence,
teaches nothing. Whenever atheism has been installed as the Official State Religion, the state in question has always given itself permission to do
unspeakable things. Always.

In a different perspective, some 11,000,000 Muslims have been violently killed since 1948, of which 35,000, or 0.3 percent, died during the sixty
years of fighting Israel, or just 1 out of every 315 Muslim fatalities. In contrast, over 90 percent of the 11 million who perished were killed by
fellow Muslims.

Comments: (1) Despite the relative non-lethality of the Arab-Israeli conflict, its renown, notoriety, complexity, and diplomatic centrality will
probably give it continued out-sized importance in the global imagination. And Israel’s reputation will continue to pay the price. (2) Still, it
helps to point out the 1-in-1,700 statistic as a corrective, in the hope that one day, this reality will register, permitting the Arab-Israeli
conflict to subside to its rightful, lesser place in world politics.

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle was asked, "What is the best deed?" He replied, "To believe in Allah and His Apostle (Muhammad). The questioner then asked, "What is
the next (in goodness)? He replied, "To participate in Jihad (religious fighting) in Allah's Cause."

Sahih Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 2, number 25

I have a better version of that, uncorrupted straight from Yeshua, and you can see where Muhammad stole it from and where he changed it.

Matthew 22:34-40

34 But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question,
testing Him, and saying, 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”

37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the
first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the
Law and the Prophets.”

See where muhammad stole that from and changed it to suit his conquest? Ah, but muslim believe in Yeshua, yet they follow muhammad. Go figure
